A Retrospective Study of Re-excised Skin Cancers in a Pathology Center.

Surgical re-excision is the recommended treatment for the complete removal of incompletely excised skin cancers (SCs), but it may not always lead to this goal. In the present study, the re-excision rate and the presence of residual tumors in re-excised SCs were evaluated. In this retrospective descriptive study, the pathological archives of a hospital center were examined for incompletely excised tumors. Out of the 96 incompletely excised tumors, 19 cases (19.8%) underwent re-excision, of which residual tumors were observed again in 7 cases (36.8%). The highest rate of residual tumor was found in the cheek (66.66%), and the involvement with tumor remnants of both margins combined was greater than the involvement of each of the lateral and deep margins alone. Collecting and reporting of surgical results of re-excised tumors may assist clinicians in determining the patient's condition and making appropriate decisions to increase the success rate of reoperations.
